Hello all, been doing some reading on the site (I'm a newbie to the site and the fta community) and still have alot of questions. If I ask the wrong thing or am out of line, please do not hesitate to bash me or let me know, again, I am new to the whole fta thing, so here goes. First off, we are talking about a 360 Elite and a 360 Premier (both receivers) with a Dish 500 dish and a quad circular Lnb, there is a duel linear Lnb available if needed if it will work w/ that dish ( though some modification will be needed to get the Lnb on to the dish arm, no bracket) Finding pretty good signals from several sats, just have to tweak for quality. So here are my questions, and please be patient with me,

I'm extremely fta and computer illiterate

1) What would one have to do in order to get more than just true fta channels?
2) What will getting a paid membership get me? And which paid subscrip is best to have?
3) Is the new iHub necessary to get channels from other than true fta?
4) Have been searching the the web and there are alot of other forum sites out there that want you to pay them (join) to get the fixes (downloads) necessary to get the most programming available. So why should one pay this site? I mean no offense by this question, I just don't know anything about this site or the others, and some of the others are offering lifetime memberships at a cut rate price.
5) bought an out dated download and couldn't open the file, (I'm running on a 64 bit vista system and computer is telling me it cannot open the file) Is this what it means to unzip a file and if so what am I doing wrong?

Well, I hope my questions aren't too annoying as I'm sure they have been asked and answered many times over. I just couldn't find the answers by searching (again, computer illiterate), so I'm sorry if they are stupid ones and if they are inappropriate. I'm sure I will have more to ask. Thanks for any help at all.
